Hi all,
I have a 2013 Accord LX auto, and it already past 15,000 miles. I couldn't find the car manual, nor find a good answer online on when to change the transmission fluid. Have not call the dealer yet, since they bugged me with the 10k miles brake cleaning job that cost like 140 buck, and probably going to bug me with the 15k miles service. So, when should I be getting the transmission fluid change? Also, should I change the coolant as well? With my old 95 Accord, I change the coolant every 12k miles, so not sure if I should on this new car as well. Thanks all.

 

If you join Honda owner's link online, you can enter your VIN, and get all the owner's manual information. The transmission is a CVT, isn't it? I have no idea what the change intervals are on that.

 

2years/30kmiles. Honestly, if you're going to do the work yourself, I would do it once a year. Main cause of trans failure that I've seen is lack of maintenance.

 

Thanks BLKFLSH, i did found the owner manual online but it said to see dealer so they can check lol.

Almight-Si,
I usually do those minor things at home myself. It just it the first time fluid, I dont know if I should leave it a bit longer than 15k miles or just change it. Most likely I will just change it myself then. Thanks for the inputs.

 

The maintenance minder should go off at about 60K, IIRC. That's for a full fluid exchange, which should be 3 drains and fills. Personally I do it ever 15K, or about every other oil change, as a single drain and fill.

 

It's a special cvt fluid too that you Need to buy at the dealer.. It has a yellow label.
